Some obvious and some insightful stuff here. I think the central theme to making a great sequel is attempting to render the original obsolete. All the great sequels do like Assassin's Creed 2 and Diablo II.

Kantor5670d ago

Come to think of it, you're right. If a sequel has genuinely improved upon the original while retaining the same feel, nobody will want to play the original (except, perhaps, for story purposes).

BLACKBOIJONES5670d ago

If devs want to learn how to make a good sequel the should buy uncharted 2 or god of war 3.Study the game and i bet u there prayers will b answered.

Mista T5670d ago

look at Valve, they always know how to make good sequels. there games are usually always different looking then the previous

Ducky5670d ago (Edited 5670d ago )

Valve nails everything on the list... except for lesson 1, which is having small development cycles.

.. Or, well actually, it says "When you take six years to make a game, it had better be the pinnacle of game design." and that's usually true for a Valve game anyways.

Valve makes a lot of franchises. They can be forgiven.

Besides, it was only a year between L4D and its sequel.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle75d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
